It has been like spot the ball......................but I got there in the end.!!

Brilliant characters as always, Lewis. Now, it may be my ageing eyesight, Lewis, but I can’t find the glaring error. Spill.

I really like your illustrations Lewis, full of imagination and humour.

Thanks Gudrun, Seth, and Stephen for your comments...and also to Tony who's spotted my mistake and not said what it is. (The others may have as well, or not having read my description may be too polite to mention it.) I'll wait to see if anyone else looks at my pic, and then I'll tell you later Seth. You'll kick yourself.

Great drawings Lewis. After a long time trying I can't see the error either.

Thanks Michael, and it's good you can't see it...I don't feel so bad about making it.

I might have missed the error in general admiration of the rest had you not mentioned it, Lew.. Spot the ball comment made me laugh. Love the B.B.C guy. (-:

I see the error, its the kind of thing that happens when you are so busy with detail you forget about the bigger picture. Still they are all great faces,

Your sketches always make me smile Lewis and, yes, I've spotted the error but it took a while so its not so glaringly obvious as you think.

It's only obvious when you know there's an error there - I doubt that I'd have noticed at all otherwise.

Thanks to everybody for looking and your comments. About time I came clean for those kind enough not to notice my error. The girl with her chin on her arm...her thumb isn't on view in this pose, but I've been overgenerous in the finger department.

PS...If anyone has spotted an error, other than the digits, I'm taking you off my Christmas List.

Yeah, well, I was too polite....no, not really!!! I had to have 6 cups of very strong black coffee before I spotted it...and I didn't cheat...honest!!! It's not so obvious, then Lewis! Brilliant bit of fun, and love your idea over the pencil, works a treat!

Lewis , it is twenty minutes past midnight , I have sat looking and looking - but I have finally found it - I think. I now go to bed with thunder & lightning - winter is coming.

This is the second time of studying the painting and I still couldn't find the error, thank you for sharing your deliberate mistakes.... I do love the crosseyed snail... (I see it has got rid of the travellers LOL Love it) well done Lewis

I can count to five so found it eventually Lewis but probably wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it! I like the guy with his question mark cig smoke! Good one%

And there is me thinking you had the twist of the snail shell in the wrong direction.

I couldn't spot the mistake Lewis and could kick myself.. I actually did count her fingers and didn't get it but of course I can see it now that I know😀 They are all great sketches.

and here was me thinking it was the guy with the Mike with 5 fingers and a thumb - knew I should have gone bed

I hadn't spotted it, great sketching Lewis.

A sketchbook should be full of all manner of scribbles, and certainly errors, as you so rightly point out Lew. I often feel a little embarrassed with mine if someone looks through the pages, utter rubbish most of it - but it's useful stuff in my eyes.

Oh Lewis! Just have to tell you! Smarty Hubby Pants spotted it in 5 seconds!!!! Lol!

Thanks for the comments everybody, I was surprised these sketches got so many...must have been the quiz element in it. Yes, Alan, I agree about sketch books having errors in them...that's what they are for. I could easily have corrected this one...but there's nothing wrong with errors provided you know that's what they are. Thalia, I'm not at all surprised your husband spotted it quickly...I did the minute I stood up to look at the drawing.

From an old sketchbook. Two reasons for showing it...first, there's a glaring error on one of the sketches. I tend to draw huddled over the paper with my shaky hand firmly plonked on it. I couldn't believe I'd done this and only noticed when I stood up to look at it. Moral - stand back. I was going to rub it out...but no, it's a sketchbook.

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
